Our decarbonisation commitments

We are committed to reducing emissions from our own operations and our value chain. To do so, we have set targets that follow the most ambitious pathway of the Paris Agreement and have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.

By 2030, we aim to eliminate our operational (scope 1&2) emissions without using carbon offsets and halve our value chain (scope 3) emissions in absolute terms compared with 2020.
